Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup mini cheesecake pan by lightly greasing it with nonstick spray.
In a food processor, finely grind the graham crackers. Add melted butter and pulse until moistened. Divide the mixture into the pan cavities, pressing firmly to create the crusts.
Bake the crusts for 5 minutes until fragrant. Then, remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 325°F.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Press the crust firmly into the pan to ensure a stable base for the cheesecakes.
You can customize the color of your cheesecakes with the red gel food coloring for a festive touch.
